looks good mate

got my boost controller ;) should be in this weekend :D

Nice to see you're settling into the skyline scene... car is looking the goods also.

GTR UPDATES:

Block has been all machined, all the component balancing has been done and almost ready to be assembled

got ACL bearings to go in and CP Pistons

also the head is being reconditioned as it was a bit worse for wear aswel.....just my luck

pretty much everything in the engine has been replaced or freshened up....

also i have to go on:

Garrett TO4Z 700HP turbo

Speed-flow oil/water lines

Turbosmart 50mm Wastegate

Extreme turbo manifolds Highmount manifold (top notch work)

Custom Dumpipe

Greddy "y" afm pipe

few other bits and pieces, its getting there slowly, Just doin the engine bay in gloss black at the moment aswel.

still alot of work ahead... :D

righto, havnt done this in a while, or at all for that matter

anyway, just finished putting my new hks gtrs turbo on the 32, along with sard 550cc injectors, adjustable cam gears, timing belt and water pump.

now its down to what ecu im gonna chuck at it, a rb26dett power fc is looking the goods at the moment, heard from damo that with some small changes she'll run alright! (will contact you damo when ive got he coin to buy one, so you can show me what i gotta do exactly! :D )

hopefully it will be half reliable and more club days and some drift days to come

yep do some research on the injectors + power fc match up and it should be sweet. i may also be able to help with the tuning side of things to.

my new car...

back in the skyline game, i am pretty sure the motor is close to rooted (rings only hopefully) but will just go through the motions to nut out exactly why it is using a butt load of oil and will sort it out.

all in all, pretty happy with it, R33s are so nice to drive!

i should have another skyline by next week, looking to secure a series 2 gts25t from either melbourne or japan if i luck out on the local market.

for now though the rx7 cage and interior are painted...

Thats a nice looking 33 Todd!

I cant say I've driven a 32 or any other Nissan, but I love the way my 33 feels on the road.

On an update note, in the process of putting on a FMIC, just need to grab a nipple for the cooler piping/boost actuator and a large whole saw :blush: will have tomorrow.

I fired up my 25/30 tonight. It sounds pretty tough. It took just over 7lts of oil and over 11lts of trans fluid for the auto

did you happen to change engine biulders half way through the 25/30 biuld project.

got some 18's that would cool on this car 4sale

Fuel Pump ordered, and Split-Dump/Front pipe just arrived.

Intercooler is completely on, and I know that they arnt actually suppose to make any more power, but the car feels stronger. Definitly more pull from 4500-redline, and the induction sounds better too.

The bottom end was from pro engines as ronnie was to busy at the time i wanted to do the build as it was mean to be ready for powercruise. So he has done all the head work to suit and to fit up the auto.

I dont know how long this engine will be in the car for as im looking into a 3.4lt stroker kit for the rb30 :)

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
